The USNS Niagara Falls

The USNS NIAGARA FALLS (T-AFS 3) is a Combat Logistics Force (CLF) ship, specifically designed to deliver large quantities of frozen, chilled and dry provisions, ship’s store resale items, technical repair parts, and general use consumables to fleet task forces operating at sea. Cargo stowage capacity exceeds 596,000 cubic feet. With this stowage capacity, the NIAGARA FALLS can provide the major portion of the logistics requirements that modern naval vessels demand and enables naval combatants to remain at sea for long periods of time conducting uninterrupted operations in support of our national military strategy.

NIAGARA FALLS can best be described as a “Floating Supermarket”. Many of the items found in the typical home are securely stowed here and ready for issue to a needy customer. Everything from clothes to watermelons, office supplies to lobster, all stored within our cargo holds. Our trademark is versatility; our spirit is “Can Do”, our motto is “THE MIGHTY FALLS DOES IT ALL"
